In the current issue of "Brand Eins "(October 2008) I was reading a review of Peter Berger Felix on a book which is titled The Logic of Life." The author, Tim Harford will, it support the thesis that economy is not always a result of rational action (not for a feminist even particularly surprising). Explains
is this with an "everyday example" that reflects the reviewer follows:. "It is with ten people in a restaurant in the first exuberance, they agree bureaucracy to distribute the entire bill to equally to all may sound economic sense and justice to all. the end of the story is different: all pay more because any more orders in the care to be neglected is the economic logic with unpleasant consequences "..
Huh??
Those are strange people who there in mind. If I go for lunch with ten friends and we so agree on a rule (which we often do), we usually all order as little as possible, because everyone wants to avoid, the budget the other drive unnecessarily with their order in the air.
Actually, of course, both the one and the other kind of idiotic (though I choose if I had to, but then the behavior of people still think Timm Harford's a bit idiotic). What
My point is that we are apparently dealing here with quite different ideas of what is "normal" behavior. And I do not like to imagine what happened only after going five women and five men eat together. In that sense I of this example has opened the eyes in such a situation NEVER SHARE THE ACCOUNT!!
